[ he looks a little hesitant because he is SO bad at comfort, but affection week means he ... wants to try. he would try anyway but he might be a little better ]
Hey. I...
[ hmmm. he tilts his head ]
Wasn't sure if you'd rather be alone or not, so I came to check. [ he'll be honest, sure ]
[she's incredibly awkward, too, and she doesn't know any middle ground between sobbing openly in front of everyone and being buttoned up. she has her arms around herself now and she's watching him carefully. but she does appreciate his coming.]
[ if she's asking he assumes that means she'd rather he be here, even if she's unsure about it, so he'll come in and put a hand on her shoulder briefly when he does ]
I know how much they all mean to you. [ it's not like a revelation, she literally talked about it earlier this week, he's just saying. he gets that this fucking sucks! ]
[ how does she sleep on anything here ever. bone hell is terrible ]
Yeah. I don't know her that well, but... She's something else. [ and he doesn't even know she's a zombie. ] ... Didn't think I'd end the night thinking I'd rather we'd managed to find Kaeya's killer.
... You were a lot more level-headed than most people I've seen in hysterics. [ just, sobbing solving? she tried. is what he means. ] We didn't have enough pieces to figure it out fully.

Sheila is very important to me. I haven't known many like her.

...Stupid. Why wouldn't he say 'I didn't kill Rupert or Kaeya.' What a waste of time.
[like it's diluc's fault.]
no subject
[ though he can't blame her for being mad at diluc. ]

I'm such a fool. The moment I suspected her, I ought to have simply solved Kaeya's murder rather than devolve into hysterics.

I'm certain we could have. We just didn't.

... What do you think you could have done, then? To figure it out.

I have high expectations for myself. If I don't maintain them, who will.
